Missing in action

Bet you though I had fallen off the face of the earth, huh?

Well, I kinda did. I have had a lot of changes lately. The biggest one was leaving my job at the law firm of 9 years to start my externship as a Medical Assistant.

Yup, that means I finished school! I am currently working at a local practice, with my last day actually being Monday. I have had one interview, another one scheduled for next week, and I have dropped off/faxed several resumes. There will be more job offers come next week when my school can start sending me out to their "top secret" employers.

The one job I have already interviewed for is really where I want to go..what I have always wanted to do...OB/GYN. One day, I will be a labor/delivery nurse, that's just what I have set out to do. This particular job just happens to be at my personal OB's office. Not for him, but one of his partners, which is fine. Weird events took place for this...see, my OB's wife happens to be my boys' pediatrician, who initially kicked my butt into gear to finishing my schooling. So, I called her up to talk to her hubby that night to see if it could help me out.

In the meantime, I too called the hubby (at his office mind you) to speak with him about it. I got his nurse who told me to fax a personal copy of my resume to the office manager, so I did. Well, all that was on a Friday. Come Monday, the OB was calling me and telling me to call his office manager personally and speak with her, as he had already spoken to her about me...awesome! Well, come to find out...the office manager is a client of one of the attorney's I worked for...weird...the receptionist I talked to was a lady I used to work with at a doctor's office several years ago, who also put in a good word for me. More awesom-er!

I interviewed and it was great. I won't know anything until this week...the thing is, I may not get it because I don't have my registration yet and won't get it until May. This particular practice says they can't hire you unless you have it...but, I think that might not be entirely true. We will just have to see.

The good thing...the person who will be filling in until they find someone is already on staff there, but will be leaving in August, so technically they have until then to hire someone...that's what the office manager told me....

...so, I am hoping that all the stars will align and that job will fall in my lap.

So there, that is that.

My baby Colty had a birthday (as did I) he turned 3 and I, turned...ahem, 29.

I just can't believe it!
